The God that you read about in the Bible DOES NOT CHANGE (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8)! He is the SAME God today as He was in Old Testament days and New Testament days. When the king of Syria sent his “great army” and “surrounded” God’s people (2 Kgs. 6:14), God was not off on vacation somewhere, nor was God too small to handle the surrounding. Instead, God had the enemy surrounding His people surrounded themselves (6:17)!
Your God is big enough, strong enough, wise enough, present enough, caring enough and willing enough to handle every enemy and every trouble that you face! He “encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them” (Psa. 34:7). Elisha’s servant could not see God’s army surrounding Syria’s army, but that did NOT mean that they were not there and ready to act.
Sometimes we question, “Where is God?” Like Job, He is around us “on every side” (Job 1:10). Like trusting Israel, He will “deliver” us from our “enemies on every side” (1 Sam. 12:11). Do you trust Him?
